Firmware update for 20x series
restamp:
It always bothers me when a new software release is substantially shorter than the previous one. Does anyone know why 4738 is 2.6MB or 20% shorter than 4581?

I share your interest. Until the release notes are released (and presuming that they provide actual details rather than "various bug fixes") we only have conjecture. In my experience with such devices, a couple of things commonly made such a difference. First, removing features (the one you/I might be most concerned with) [Conjecture, perhaps they removed the legacy Google Voice support]. Second, updating to newer versions of their RTOS vendors libraries. Third, better #ifdefs to remove compiling in libraries/features not applicable to the platform. Fourth, better/different compiler options for optimization (for example, I believe these are ARM devices, and properly utilizing the thumb instructions can save a lot of space). Fifth, using a better compression algorithm on the binary. We can only conjecture until the release notes.

I dunno, pulled the trigger & blindly updated two 200's via the portal last night and they're still working. ;D
I mean, newer's better, right? :D

I just updated the firmware on my obihai 202 from the obi dashboard and now the triangle is gone (it was there earlier). When I try to setup google voice, I get stuck in a loop.
A popup appears says the device needs to be upgraded to continue. I hit ok and it says update in progress and a few seconds later the webpage says sucessfully upgraded XXXXXXX firmware to 3.0.1.4738. After that a pop up appears saying this device needs to be upgraded I hit ok and it shows my firmware is upgraded to 3.0.1.4738. Immediately after that another popup appears saying I need to upgrade to continue. I logged into the obi 202 itself and confirmed the firmware is 3.0.1.4738. I even tried loading the same firmware into it and it says it is already the latest version. Any suggestions on how to setup google voice or upgrading the firmware?

Sounds like the OBi has the latest firmware on it.
I would cycle power a few times, reboot a few times, reset to factory defaults, and re-configure from scratch. If using OBiTALK Provisioning, remove/add device and start over. Maybe it will start responding normally along the way.
From posts around here, it seems like OBiTALK.com often has trouble talking to OBis (and falls down on weekends). The usual advice seems to be wipe and start over.
